Summary

The holidays are right around the corner, which means the holiday “shopping season” is now in full swing. And while we love scoring a good bargain on just about everything, we score the best deal when we just don’t buy the thing in the first place. Shira Gill, an expert on minimalism, intentional shopping, and living your values shares how to stop ourselves from buying the thing BEFORE we buy the thing, and how to get creative with gift-giving, with heartfelt items that will mean a heck of a lot more to the recipient than something shiny and expensive. CHAPTERS: 00:00 The allure of bargains 06:00 Minimalism and values-based decisions 13:00 Intentional gifting 26:00 Tips for a stress-free holiday season 34:00 Mailbag question 1: Retirement-Specific Book Recommendations 36:00 Mailbag question 2: Managing Credit Card Debt and Balance Transfers TAKEAWAYS: Minimalism is about clarifying what matters most and removing distractions to create time, space, and freedom. Unique, heartfelt gifts—like sharing skills, creating experiences, or consumable items—often resonate more than material possessions. Set a mission statement for the season. Identify what your family truly values, whether it’s a trip or simply quality time together and stick to it. Learn more about our Finance Fixx program here. Use code PODCAST for a $100 discount.
